Car rental in Bad Wörishofen

Compared to driving in the UK, there are some differences to note. In Germany, we drive on the right-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat and controls are located on the left-hand side of the vehicle. But don't worry, you'll quickly get used to it. Here are some traffic rules you should be aware of:

• Seatbelts must be worn at all times by the driver and all passengers.
• You should always give way to the right unless otherwise signposted.
• The drink-driving limit in Germany is lower than in the UK. If you're going to drive, it's better not to drink at all.

You’ll also find that the autobahns (German motorways) in this part of the country have no enforced speed limit. However, a recommended speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph) is in place.

Choosing the Right Car

When it comes to selecting a rental car for your visit to Bad Wörishofen, opt for a compact or mid-size car for the best experience. The roads around the spa town are well-maintained but can be quite narrow, so a smaller car will be more manageable.

Parking in Bad Wörishofen

Most hotels in Bad Wörishofen offer free parking for guests. There are also public parking lots throughout the town where you can leave your car for a fee. Keep in mind that in some areas, street parking might be designated for residents only.

Exploring the Surroundings

A rental car will also give you the freedom to explore the beautiful Unterallgäu region at your own pace. Here are some driving routes to consider from Bad Wörishofen:
